"Cornflower Blue"<br />

-Eric Bogle<br />

<br />

Cornflower blue, bloomin' in the mornin' sun<br />

Tiny flowers that grew, from when our love had just begun<br />

Long ago we planted, each dry and dusty row<br />

How long has it taken, for the seeds of love to grow?<br />

Cornflower blue...<br />

<br />

Cornflower blue, like the faded shirt you wore<br />

Standing in the shadows, when I opened up the door<br />

The smile in your eyes, when you said hello<br />

Held me so tenderly, and you would not let me go<br />

Cornflower blue...<br />

<br />

Cornflower blue, deeper than the evenin' sky<br />

Peaceful as a river, bluer than goodbye<br />

Blue like a diamond, when the light shines true<br />

If love came in colors, then I'd choose this one for you<br />

Cornflower blue...<br />

Cornflower blue...
